New York community organization Made in the Lower East Side (miLES) demonstrated just how great the appetite is for temporary storefront space in lower Manhattan this past spring. Its call for applicants to creatively use a neighborhood storefront brought in more than 100 proposals, including 10 different pop–up stores, 20 pop–up classes, and a film festival. Now the organization is looking to streamline the process of creating pop–ups by Storefront Transformer.

It plans for seven different organizations to open up for a week at a time, including an exhibition on comic book artist Jack Kirby, a "living magazine" called Blood, Sweat & Fears, a temporary home for a nonprofit working on homelessness issues, a maker space, an educational space, a retail store, and a restaurant.Read Full Story Continue reading at 'Fast Company'
